The way that eminem put "double entendre" for so many people without realizing exactly what the end of the video will be about is so crazy. Hes just different.
I'm pretty sure the reason he says double entendre is because the whole song is a double. He doesn't say that every time he doubles. Whatever good reaction tho🔥
Yeah thats true, I was thrown for a loop lol appreciate you watching.
I forgot another track you should listen to is fat Joe and eminem Mary j .lord above
Eminem is the goats, so his okay would be everyone else's best day.
Fall
Zeus
Lock It Up
No Regrets
Unnacomidating
Those are all going in your playlist
Lol you sound so sure. You might be right though 😆 I feel like you all are getting a better idea of what I like. Appreciate you as always
& THE RINGER.
Yo, loved the reaction a song I think you should do. Next is bad Guy by Eminem from the Marshall Mathers LP two the album after recovery. It connects with the song, Stan.
So is it like a part 2?
@@counterreaction in a different perspective but the song has something to do with the song, Stan definitely should check it out
@@onehandedbandit5878 cool cool appreciate you!
@@counterreactionnot as good as Stan not even close it's a part 2 I mean it's stans little brother coming back for revenge but ehhh this was during the recovery Eminem era not great however whatever he says in the track comes true afterwards haha a guy named Mathew brke in his house threw the back etc haha he just doesn't actually kill Eminem obviously
You're the most honest reactor out there. Everyone just D rides Em's every verse.for views. You have compliments and criticisms no matter how you feel about the song. Most times i even agree with you.
* Slept on songs that you might enjoy because i feel we have similar listening taste, is, Believe, and also Walk on Water. His writing is simple yet masterful in both those songs.
Yeah bro its nice to have a different vibe and everyone just enjoy it together definetly.Believe is a hard ass song and has a ton off bars reactors dont catch to often. I love to see the counts take on it Great request.Another on that vibe for me is Legacy
Ayyee 🙌 appreciate you! I do my best to remain as fair and unbiased as humanly possible. Believe is on the list. Walk on water sounds familiar though. I can add it forsure fam, appreciate you watching!
Legacy, walk on water and believe, got it. Thanks jay!
Some just appreciate Eminems penmanship and cadence, etc. Some ppl overreact but that's their thing they do and some like Knox and cliff enjoy trying to catch the bars
Solid production from Royce. The “double entendre” bar almost lost me. Great reaction again. Thank you
Ad-lib*
😆 appreciate you watching. Yes forsure, solid indeed. Had no idea he produced this. So dope!
Eminem appears to be right up your alley. Highly recommend more of him
A lot more coming. Its gonna be long road.
Im from uk northern ireland .. yes we say that winda and windie for window 🪟 he's world wide.. also most young people haven't a clue what doubles are .. they're all about beats ..
Firstly, so happy to have you here. Secondly, noted. If eminem is Irish, I’ll give him a pass lol
Im not irish im british 🇬🇧 you know the english language you're speaking
Winda is used in Australia too.
With our accent trigger sounds more like triggar
My Nf friend! Hahaha 1994 spring break 11 teenagers from Mississippi heading to Panama City Beach Florida in 3 vehicles and I got made fun of the whole trip........ it’s hard to get alcohol at that age so my guy that got my beer bought me 4 cases of Colt 45 and I was considered the ghetto beer drinker 😂 bumping Travis Tritt, Hank Jr,, Dre, and R.Kelly out my two 12s I had in my Chevy blazer. And man I think you did another great analysis here brother and I do like darkness you know I’m a content guy!!
Thanks phil, appreciate you as always. Definitely a ghetto type beer though, i grew up drinking king cobra lol not much better than colt 45 😂 great story!
Great reaction bro
Appreciate you bro!
Cool reaction 😎😎
This one was fire!
Appreciate you coming back bro 😎 glad you enjoyed it
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas is amazing and I watched on magic mushrooms
Dude we need your spotify playlist link. Would love a spotify link to your reactions that make the list.
Appreciate you watching bro, as well as for your interest in a playlist. I will definitely get around to making it this week.
No worries dude, I also grew up on Em, got the MMLP first when it came out, went back to SSLP then the Eminen show when it came out and after Encore I kinda lost interest with his work (i now know it was because of the insane drug abuse but i thought he was just getting a little corny and lazy with his beats and rhymes) and that's coming from a then 15 year old me. It wasn't until Kamikaze dropped well over a decade later I was like DAMN! Slim is back! And I've been riding that wave ever since and reintroduced myself to everything in-between that I missed in that decade. I appreciate your honesty in the reactions and although I might not personally agree with some of the things you critique or do or don't like, I do like that you keep it 💯 in all your videos. Cheers from Australia man 🍻 looking forward to the playlist 👌
What are your criteria for a perfect song? What do you value the most in a song?
There is a vast array of elements that I look for in each song individually. For a song to make it into a playlist of mine, it either has to be extremely unique or retain a level of replay-ability. But personally, a great chorus with substance not just words that repeat. A smooth delivery with solid transitions between rhyme schemes. A little bit of style or swag is always nice. Like some finesse, but not required. But what I value most in a song is cohesion. Which darkness had a lot of. Medicine man did not. Listening to dre’s verse, then hearing anderson and the female vocalist sing, followed with em’s aggression just didn’t feel like it meshed together well. Im glad you asked that question, i need to be better at explaining myself on camera.
Have you heard "Wicked ways" "evil twin" or "untitled"
“Imma give him a pass “ is hilarious! 🤣🤣🤣
It is huh. Its like who the hell is this guy to give him a pass 😆
@counterreaction haha. I was watching this and when you said that, I audibly said "I'm sure Em will appreciate the pass." As we all appreciated the pass you gave us later in the reaction.
Eminem is the GOAT
Uh oh.
Edit to say: you’ll hate it, but you’ll love it, or vice versa. It’s beautiful in its excellence and as ugly as can be in its content.
How beautifully put. Love it
Before I watch this. This is one of my favorites of Ems "new" songs!
Its very solid!
@@counterreaction It is! I really like when he raps like this, more mellow (don't know if that is the right word to use) and I love his storytellin and dubbles. His pen really shines! This is on my Playlist aswell even tho it is a heavy song I love listening to it.
@@Aztekprincess I agree, I like when he is in this bag. I feel like his words hold more weight than when hes angrily rapping lol just me though. Heavy song forsure!
@@counterreaction haha yeah I get what you mean. I like angry Em to but not all the time and I like speedy Em but again not all the time. That's why I like Alfred's theme aswell because like you said it's a masterclass on bars and writing but hes still chill and not rapping superfast.
Yooo nice reaction keep it up
Fuck the ones who dont appreciate honesty, keep it real
Also does screams you heard during the shooting are the real screams from the concert
Thanks bro, its the only way I know how to be. Glad you’re receptive to it.
No way!!! Fr??? Thats insane on so many levels. Holy shitttt
I went to 5 different schools in 5th grade so i know the feeling. I recommend bad guy by em. Its a sequel to stan. I know the bars in the beginning are questionable but the end of the song sets it off.
Its on the list brotha, definitely gonna get to it!
Stay wide awake. Crazy unmatched flows and rhyme schemes. Really fucked up content but the rest is so good you will bob your head and enjoy it.
Coming up bro. I hope I enjoy it
Yo homie I love your take on music or maybe I should say view, the things you point out are factual,like I've listened to this numerous times and the point you made on pronunciation of winda it's an overlook for at least 95 percent of listeners I know I heard it and knew what he meant but the same time thats a reach and I can appreciate the way you see it.....I love music but I am the advantage listener I'll pick up on some but most of the time it'll be the obvious lol.. that's why I depend on reactors and their knowledge,cause I want to understand the whole message and meaning what I am listening to...... I'll say it again Ems song Believe you'd appreciate,now I won't back the beat cause it's for a select few,but it's a lot to take in on that track ..... flow is a simple slow So ya can hear it
I added it brotha, beats are definitely a important aspect to song composition but i feel like i am a bit more forgiving than others when it comes to beats. I have my limits though. Appreciate you understanding my methods as always my guy!
You do know eminem is southern he is from Missouri spent a lot of childhood there so accent language style some comes from that
🤔🤝 appreciate you watching.
Royce da 5'9 actually made this beat
Thats so dope!
U should react to "Greatest" it has some of the best bars in the Kamikaze album
I know its on the list fam, i think I’m at about 47 em requests at this point. Ima do my best to get to them bro.
Em bends words a lot to make them work. But, you were right on this one. Winda, trigga. That is a bit lazy.
Thank you for agreeing lol some bending is justifiable but when its 50% of the word. Naw fam.
My my friend! And I’m in the Deep South born and bred......😂😂😭 and there’s only one person I’ve ever heard say“ windah “ And his mick ass was from Jersey and I’m allowed to say that because he always called me redneck and told me to f#%k my sister 😭 damn I loved that guiny man! See you next time sir!
Lmfao…..Em thought he could pull that off. Cant blame em for trying. Til next time bro!
When you get a chance check out Em's song Believe. Motivational Masterpiece
Honestly love motivational type songs. That is one of the few times I choose not to critique because the purpose and meaning of the song far exceeds the importance of my expectations from a writing standpoint.
@@counterreaction I think you would really enjoy it. I think it's probably most underrated song he has. Probably because it's on his Revival album
@@4U2.Enjoy13 was revival after relapse?
@@counterreaction Yes.
@@counterreactionrevival was the album he got everyone talking shit about him he then released kamakazee album the ringer, fall, and not alike if you haven't heard it you should check he snapped but chlorospectic remix with 2 chainz is his warning right before kamakazee album if ever you wanna go in order but the ringer is a must
Royce made this beat I believe.
I believe he did, a few people told me. Had to fact check it and from what I remember, they were correct.
Great song.Hands down.The winda comment was hilarious I mean when you've literally used every word including comode I imagine shit gets hard, Double entendre😂😂😂Hey brother I sorry i cant take youre critique man you're harsh LOL just fucking with you. Great reaction man it's tough doing songs that are country are so split on. It kills me that we can't just have opinions of each side of the aisle and be happy. The fact that people get sold it's so angry nowadays to the point where you have good friends that don't agree with who you support for what you support they're not friends ridiculous. I stay the hell out of politics. That said I can't wait to hear what's next. I'm going to put together a little list as soon as I get a few minutes to throw it out the winda. 😂 appreciate your opinion and honesty always🫡✊🏼✌🏻
Haha yeah I’ve said that before, he’s rapped every word under the sun. Bet its hard for him. But thanks buddy, much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed this one. As for the division in our country, unfortunately thats what makes this country so great. Is that we don’t have to adhere to each others opinions or beliefs. Have to take the good with the bad sometimes and find acceptance for the sake of sanity. Im always trying to find the silver lining lol
Wayne and Em are both on record saying what they look up most on Google is their own lyrics bc sometimes they feel like the line came too naturally or its "too good" so they must have already said it before😂 it must be crazy to have soo many great songs verses and bars that you can't remember if what you are thinking is new or not bc "it sounds too good"
@@k3lv1np97 yeah it's not even just using the same words using words that mean the same thing 20 different ways eventually some of your stuff is going to be repeating there's no way around it when you've been around as long as these guys have. Hey but they do it in style
Winda never bugged me on this song... maybe it's a North East thing, I'm thinking New Hampshire, Boston, or maybe Yonkers (Yonkahs).
True about using up all the words, Infinite came out when I was 20 and I'm old now! People talk about him putting the pen down, but I don't think it's possible for him to do. Also glad the opinions were left out of this... it isn't (or shouldn't) even really be a Political discussion.
I agree with my man here, the freedom to voice our own opinions is ONE of the greatest things about the U.S. but there was a time when we could disagree CIVILLY. At grandma's house, no Politics or Religion at the dinner table.
@@Mike_H76 you’re right, it could be a north east thing. But he’s from detroit 😭 and yeah I agree with you on that one bro. The good ol days lol
Lock it up and you gon learn from the same album go hard
I think you gon learn is in the list bro. I gotta check.
@@counterreactionyou gon learn is so good I'm looking forward to that one!
He ad libs for guys like you, bruv
The newer song "use this gospel" (YE ft Em) is a really good one imo. less assonance rhyming & more end-line rhyming with minimal internals & overall smoother delivery. You seem to like those tracks so figured id put that out there if nobody else requested yet👍 Good reacrion btw. This song is, for the most part, a giant double entendre where each line can be taken as either talking about LV shooter or himself. He has a few other songs that are like this too.
Appreciate the recommendation, thanks for coming back bro. Thanks for the kind words as well. So “use this gospel”, is that a different song from “gospel” because thats on the list.
@@counterreaction no need for thx bro. I enjoy the NF & Em stuff you put out so.. & yeah, Gospel is with Dr Dre. Its from the GTA 5 game.. Use this gospel is with Kanye. Gospel is more 'bar' heavy similar to Alfreds Theme while Use This Gospel is more straight forward storytelling where he just keeps on topic & he carries the same like 5syllable scheme throughout.. But yeah, both are good but yeah different songs👍 i seen gospel in your post/poll last week & voted for it😂
Gospel is a new(ish) song with Dre. Kind of subpar by their standards in my opinion, they're not really talking about shit in that song, just rapping. Couple of nice bars, couple of corny ones.
Use this Gospel is a remix of a Kanye song and is a much more focused verse from Em
@@jamesp6595 🎵this could end up comin' to blows, like a weiner🎵😂😂
@@christopher4101 its coming bro, and also I cant help but thank you guys. It’s not easy to find people that aren’t so quick to find a reason to hate me for my opinion. So all of you who are accepting of it, even if it doesn’t align with your own. Means alot.
Whats wrong with bending words to rhyme?
I think its lazy bro.
Fun fact: I believe Royce da 59 produced this song
But today’s common hip hop fan has become literally dumber by more dumbed down music. This is why Em has to unfortunately explain his bars in cringe adlibs and stuff of the sort
Fr? If thats true, then the dude has skills on the production side of things.
Em, Royce, and Luis did the producing. It was a colab between the 3 of them
Dont smack talk speed rapping bro!!!
😆 too late!
I only disagree on one point. Em has never had unintentional bars....never. Every word has a meaning, fortunately or unfortunately haha. Only intent I've seen is him "simplify the rhyme to amplify the voice". Like Rednan said "Em raps to state things, not to just make a song".
Appreciate you watching, and I openly accept your point of disagreement brotha. I welcome it, but I just wanted to say. The basis of the word unintentional implies not done with intent. If he did something unintentionally then it’s unbeknownst to him. So I agree, he doesn’t create bars unintentionally, how could anyone. However, bars can be created unintentionally as a byproduct throughout the writing process. Especially true for EM, as his writing style is imprinted in our heads and left a major impression on our understanding of his ability. Ive witnessed some of his fans create narratives of songs, create bars that didn’t exist. To the point to where if it was highlighted and explained to the mass audience, they would be split 50/50. They want it to have as many meanings as possible because that is what they expect. But the fact is, some people don’t intuitively speculate when they are a fan of someone, they just immediately believe what they want.
@@counterreaction I've also seen a few fans who make something out of nothing, but since I don't let what a small percentage of his fans do to paint Em a certain based on those fans. I agree that things show up in the writing as a "biproduct" of writing but I believe, and it's only an opinion, he writes then critiques himself, takes out those biproduct lines to make it a seamless song. I would love an example of Ems writing that has no point to it. Do ya have examples? Because you did say some of his bars have no point, like throwaway bars. Which examples of those do ya have? Because I have way too many that point the opposite way, as having a point or leading up to something. If there's only a couple/few examples, I'll chalk that up to anecdotes 😎
@@counterreaction thanks for responding to my comment, and making you case. I do appreciate it.
@@robertcabrera4760 I’ve never said that em has throwaway bars, but I also never said he doesn’t. As far as examples are concerned, it would require some back tracking. But wouldn’t take long, I can pick out any em song and find one. However, I’m currently at my full time, and Im not getting paid to do research lol I enjoy talking to you guys too much tbh. I was in the comment section of videos chatting away before i had a channel lol
@@robertcabrera4760 my pleasure bro, anyone who takes the time to watch my videos can always expect a response from me. Its the least I can do. Dont always get notifications for them though. Js
You're way too nitpicky bro. Are you a music critic? I can watch Fantano for that.
Do as you please fam, appreciate you watching.
He literally said window normally
Nonetheless you're not teaching Eminem of all people how to ryhme words you just look corny
Ok 👌 appreciate you watching.
I hear "winduh" and "trigguh"
Dude you reaching just cause Eminem is a great word smith doesn't mean everything he says is gold
Yo this is one of the craziest songs the whole thing is a double, crazy bars through the entire song and first thing dude said was give him a pass for window (winda)…. Bruh how can you enjoy a song if you’re constantly looking for the smallest little thing to “give him a pass on”? But yea great song and video but the political message to get rid of guns coming from slim shady is completely ridiculous. It’s sad but dude went full woke warrior. It started with that garbage bet trump freestyle, revival had all kinds of lame soft ass woke virtue signaling garbage on it. He literally had a bar dissing trump for banning transgenders with a tweet on revival. Coming from a guy who relentlessly slanders gay people and trans people for 2 decades and just as recent as 2015 was still slandering them using the forbidden “f” word. Woke people are some of the worse people on the planet but people who just decide to turn woke and act like they care about all the nonsense when their entire existence up to that point has been the opposite is even worse. Eminem has been a gun freak his entire career now he wants ban guns gtfoh. This is the Illuminati finally coming to collect what they need from him after allowing him such a legendary career with all the crazy shit he’s said over the years. Now they’re like we let you get away with all that shit now we need you to say you’re against all of it or we’ll ruin you.
Promise you I’m not looking for things to critique on purpose. It just stood out to me, and not in a good way. Not a fan of virtue signaling, it doesn’t sit well with me. Either way, appreciate you watching.
@@counterreaction Agreed, this new fake woke Eminem trying to act like he cares about all of this garbage is so lame. I still like some of his newer stuff but he’s getting cornier and cornier the older he gets.
@@troyperry411 I can pick out corny lines in almost every Em song. Im sure his fans would agree with some of them as well. I just dont want to beat a dead horse. Ppl know whats corny and whats not.
@@counterreaction I wasn’t even really talking about bars but yea he’s always had corny lines throughout his whole career. I think he knowingly keeps some of them in there. My boy does the same thing every time newer em comes in the rotation it’s like he only hears a corny bar
but I just meant he’s been doing corny shit overall the last couple years. Like he’s desperate to be liked. That’s why kamikaze was as good as it was. He was really butthurt that people didn’t fuck with the music after the political stance he took.
@@troyperry411 ahhh gotcha. To the point of your friend, I said some good things about this song. But everyone highlights the one or two negative things I say. Which i don’t mind. Its just a bit funny lol
Still love ur content. I'm having a hard time giving u a pass on best friend. And the majority of em fans and non em fans would agree. Ur kinda on ur own island on that song. Ems best verse. Everything u can think of that makes a verse great, the best friend verse has.
Hey buddy, I get it. Trust me, I can’t blame anyone for disagreeing with me. Especially if a song is near and dear to you or of course if the artist in question is your favorite. I’ll tell ya what though Ivan, you’re right about that island, it’s a lonely one lol but I see everyone on the islands around me enjoying themselves and I can still appreciate it from afar. Love your passion bro!
@@counterreaction ok fine then. I'll give u the pass. Lol!
@@ivanwebb7134 My man, Appreciate you!
